These homes are separated into those listed in move-in condition and those rated as fixer-uppers. This price information covers the entire region and the following communities and neighborhoods:

This is a tough environment for home sellers. There is a lot of inventory on the New Orleans real estate market, and prices have been weak. Buyers are bargain hunting and looking at a lot of homes before coming to a decision. In this competitive market, it pays to have expert help.

There are at least a few new homes on the market in most areas of the metro area.

New Orleans and East Jefferson offer the fewest choices for never occupied homes. Both areas are surrounded by water, so there is very little undeveloped land available for new construction. For the most part, new homes are properties in Lakeview and New Orleans East rebuilt since Hurricane Katrina. In other cases, older homes have been demolished to reclaim the land. The Kenner lakefront area does have some tracts under development in Gabriel, Louisiana Trace and Southlake Villages.
